The way we live and work is subject to continuous change. The causes of this transformation are manifold and omnipresent. One example is the digital transformation of society, which generates an enormous amount of data and information. Science and practice have recognized that data-based business are a must-have for the future success. Supply Chain Analytics, Blockchain, Advanced Manufacturing and Industry 4.0 are just a few examples of the disruptive changes we are facing now and in the future. HICL 2020 focuses on research concepts and ideas that foster a new way of value creation and will give us insights into the future of Supply Chain Management and Logistics.

Submit for HICL 2020, be part of the disruptive transformation, and contribute towards this year’s topic:

New Ways of Creating Value in Supply Chains and Logistics

We invite empirical, theoretical, methodological, and practical contributions addressing topics in SCM and Logistics related to one of the following tracks:

It is our understanding that many of tomorrow’s goals can only be achieved by a constant exchange of ideas within the scientific community.
